The hotel was quite old and had a slightly eerie feel. The bathroom was very small and offered limited amenities. However, it was cost-effective and worth the price paid. The place was quiet and peaceful, and the staff were prompt and helpful."

Allston is a working class neighborhood with lots of students. There are a great selection of restaurants; especially Asian fare. So many great places to eat and explore. There is some urban blight and decay.

The Farrington Inn has a wonderful staff and is located near the Harvard Ave train stop. The room we stayed in had a private bathroom, kitchenette, and comfortable bed. It was a great place for the price! We would definitely stay there again!

The address listed is not where we stayed. They have buildings throughout the neighborhood. We actually were escorted out of the check in building and down the block, where we stayed at 38 Linden st. Didn’t like not knowing that ahead of time.

It was just what we needed. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, and safe. The airconditioner worked well and the there were towels and toiletries that we needed. Be advised that it is a walk up but that was no issue for us. Yes, it is old but it is clean and safe.

The facilities are not nice. I understand it's a cheap hotel in Boston, but not that cheap. Hallways are very dirty as well as any communal area

Dreary entryway; dirty rugs throughout; bathroom sink cracked, with broken plastic hot water handle; broken window shade in bathroom; what little furniture that was in the bedroom was grimy and dirty; only a single overhead light in bedroom with no night stands with lamps; TV had only one channel, and to make that work you had to plug and unplug the TV; walls in the stairwells were cracked with pieces on the stairs; building and surrounding property was in ill-repair. On the positive side, the staff was nice.

This place was horrible, smell everything! Once I seen the rooms, I instantly felt bad for anyone staying there. Smell stuck to my clothes. Thin walls so you can hear everything. And of course shared bathrooms, eww.

I was completely satisfied with what I paid for. Perfect for ovation and cost to explore the city. Not glamorous , but just fine for me. And they were incredibly nice, easy to deal with and bent over backwards to work with me on my dates and travel schedule due to work issues. I have zero complaints.

This place was awesome! The suite I stayed in was huge, and I couldn't believe how nice the kitchen was, and there was even a washer and a dryer. The other occupants were quiet, and respectful of privacy and shared spaces. The price was great, and it was amazing to be able to stay within walking distance of so many great music venues and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful.

I've stayed at the Farrington probably 50 times for work. It is a funky place but I love it. Clean but maybe the blinds will be bent or the desk will have a drawer that doesn't open. I don't care, it is close to BU, it's unbelievably cheap for Boston, and the staff are really great. When I stayed there every week for work, they would remember that I needed extra pillows and bring them out without my asking. Last week I called in a panic because I couldn't find a hotel on the way from NC to Boston and I called them at 11am asking if they had a room for me at 2am. "No problem, come in!" was the answer. I'll stay there every time I go to Boston!
